Really this unit had everything you could need and beautifully decorated. Very quiet as well.The pool is clean and convenient with ample loungers. It is not fancy but definitely adequate to sit at pool for a bit. The resident cats are friendly if you are so inclined to interact with them outside the units.

Brian D.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The unit was well appointed, convenient to our activities, spacious and overall clean. Having to go through two locked gates each time we entered or departed was annoying but we understand why for security purposes. The main factor that diminished the stay was that the unit backed up to the roof of the adjacent CVS store. The roof top AC compressor ran all the time, so we really didn't find the covered decks to be a "peaceful retreat"; we didn't use them. Also, the supplemental window AC unit in the master bedroom was noisy and blew air directly on the bed. After 1 night, we turned it off for the night. Also, the windo AC filter was very dirty; I cleaned and notified the property manager that the condensor vanes need vacuuming. Lastly, the kitchen was well appointed; we found everything we needed. However, the cabinets are showing their age; the foil finish is curling at the edges of the cabinet doors. The CVS and window AC issues reduced the value of the property, especially given the significant VRBO fees.
